PGSS5NFZCSS General Electric Refrigerator - Instructions

removed the inside fridge electrical panel and swapped switches

I looked up appliance on internet,diagram only showed the inlet valve and ice maker in schematic.I ck'd to see if water was getting to valve(it was)but wasn't getting to ice maker,thus I replaced the valve and it solved the problem.

My son replaced both temperature sensors and the fridge works great now!!! Like brand new again!!!!

Easy, with included video and instructions

My 14 year old Son

The part arrived and we snapped it in. The agent for Partselect was INCREDIBLY helpful in locating the part and completing the order for me.

We received the part just a few days after ordering, unscrewed the old filter by hand, and installed the new filter the same way.

Folowed instructions

I have a GE Profile French door refrig. It's only about 4 yrs old and the defroster stopped working. I read the other repair stories and was able to narrow it down to either the temp sensor, defrost timer, or main board. The refrig section was up to about 47 degrees and freezer was around 25. I could tell it was trying to cool but couldn't. So I tried the temp sensor first. I cut and spliced the new sensor on the outlet of the Evap. Coil and it took about 15 mins. Turned refrig back on and waited. The coil started to ice over after about 5 hrs I left the back panel off so I could see if and when then heater kicked on. After about 8 hrs I looked in and saw a faint glow and water trickling down and running out the drain. Turned out the sensor was bad and wasn't telling the main board it needed to defrost. I would try the sensor if you are having the same issues before spending a lot of money on the main board, defrost heater and or timer.

removed left hand door . took off seal gasket and removed door trays.replaced gasket in new door. Replaced trays. Put door back into hinges. Done.

exactly as the instructions.......never did see anything about replacing the adapter...therefore i did not

Unplugged the refrigerator first....then on the inside of the fridge, I popped the temp sensor cover off (upper LH side) and exposed the old sensor. I snipped off the old sensor about 3" down from the end and connected the new sensor (which I trimmed down to about 3" long) with some heat shrink wire nuts/connectors. Let the fridge run for a day or so and confirmed the problem was solved! Oh yeah, there was no way to tell the 2 wires apart (power vs. ground) on the sensor. However there was a manufacturer's stamp on the wires. So note the orientation of the text and mark one of the wires with a sharpie on both the old and new sensor before trimming. This will give you a reference for which wires to connect when adding the new sensor to the old wires.

First I unplugged the refrigerator. I removed the cardboard from the back and unhooked the inlet water line with a wrench and the water line to the ice maker, which was a quick connect. I unplugged the wire harness and removed the valve, then installed the new valve, plugged in the wire harness and hooked up the water lines. I turned on the water line and plugged in the refrigerator. The ice maker works great.

It was easy and fast, like changing a light bulb. The directions were clear and easy to follow. Thank you.

We just pried off the fan blades and pushed on the new part. Could not have been easier. The rat has been permanently dipatched and, hopefully, that is that.
